{not so}Littte Boys

oh how I love our sweet, precious, little boys,

their wrestling, their laughing,

their love of protecting, so fierce and so brave,

adventure & exploring they crave

their lack of bed making, even the ornery looks that they give,
their need of a bath, both morning and night,

the way they challenge your thinking,

and cause you to pray with all your might...

the way they pull you into their play

and allow you be a child at least once a day...

their naughty, sneaky dogs, sleeping in their beds

the way they try so hard, to make Mama happy,

their touseled bed heads

their prayers, so tender, so real & true

how they trust you, to know just what to do

and the way they still love you, even if you've failed when the day is through

how I love my little {and not so little} boys

thank-you Jesus for these sweet precious joys
